A 7-kilometre circular route starts in Méhers; the Saint-Clair celebration takes place every year in early June. These offer two clearly defined starting points for planning a trip: a route of a set length and a cultural event whose exact date may vary. The village’s attractions also include the historic Manoir de Beauregard, the Église Saint-Clair, and the natural area of Les Perrières.

The Chemin des étangs: a marked circular route

The Chemin des étangs is a 7-kilometre circular route starting in Méhers. It is marked with the PR® signs “barrette jaune” and “triangle jaune.” On a circular route, the start and finish are the same; the distance provides a concrete reference for fitting the walk into your day’s plans. Check local conditions before setting out. The trail markers and set distance help you treat the route as a distinct planning item, rather than focusing only on its name.

Les Perrières: a natural area with no public access

Les Perrières, also known as Trous de Méhers, comprises limestone grassland with orchids and junipers, as well as water-filled pits. These pits are home to notable amphibians and dragonflies, and contain underwater vegetation. The area is designated as a Type I ZNIEFF, No. 240031055. However, access for visitors is expressly restricted: Les Perrières is privately owned and is not open to the public. Neither self-guided nor guided visits are available there. The area’s natural features are part of the village’s character, but they do not make it a publicly accessible visitor attraction.

Manoir de Beauregard and Église Saint-Clair

The Manoir de Beauregard was built in the early years of the 16th century and is classified as a historic monument; it is privately owned. By contrast, the Église Saint-Clair is listed as a historic monument in its entirety. It was listed by decree dated December 30, 2025. The details emphasize different points: for the manor, its construction date, classification, and private ownership; for the church, the protection of the whole building and the exact date of the listing decree. This distinguishes the manor’s construction period from the later act protecting the church.

The Saint-Clair celebration and fountain

The Saint-Clair celebration takes place every year in early June, with a Mass at the Église Saint-Clair, followed by the blessing of the statuette of the Fontaine Saint-Clair. Exact dates may vary. If you choose the celebration as a reason for your trip, check the specific date in advance: this turns the general timing of “early June” into a reliable reference point for your plans. The Fontaine Saint-Clair is also associated with pilgrimages for eye ailments. This pilgrimage tradition is a distinct religious aspect, separate from the program of the annual celebration.

When planning your trip, the main difference between the circular route and the celebration is the kind of planning each requires: for the walk, the distance and local conditions matter; for the celebration, the specific date within the variable early-June period matters. This can help you decide whether a walk or a calendar-based tradition should be the focus of your trip.
